Provides step-by-step instructions to associate and start the JCLSPMDN
enterprise server region, set debug properties and breakpoints, debug the SPCall and SP1 stored procedure, view the JCL execution results, and stop
the JCLSPMDN
enterprise server region.
Associate the JCLSPMDN Region with the SPCall Project
- In the Visual Studio
Server Explorer, expand
Micro Focus Servers > Default.
- Right-click
JCLSPMDN; then select
Associate With Project > SPCall from the context menu.
Start the JCLSPMDN Region
- On the
Server Explorer list, right-click
JCLSPMDN; then select
Start from the context menu.
- If you are using SQL Server authentication, check
Server is secured; then provide your
Username and
Password.
If you are using Windows authentication, skip this step.
- Click
OK.
Configure SQL Server Debug Properties
- In Visual Studio, click
View > SQL Server Object Explorer.
- Expand
SQL Server.
- In the list of SQL Server instances, expand your SQL Server instance.
Note: If your SQL Server instance is not listed:
- On the
SQL Server Object Explorer, right-click
SQL Server; then select
Add SQL Server from the context menu.
- On the
Connect to Server dialog box, type
. (dot) into the
Server name field; then click
Connect.
- Repeat this step.
- Expand
Databases; then check the resulting list to ensure that
SQLCLR_Test is listed.
- Right-click your SQL Server instance; then select
Application Debugging to turn it on. When Application Debugging is on, a check mark
appears to its left.
- Right-click your SQL Server instance again; then select
Allow SQL/CLR Debugging to turn it on.
- If prompted, click
Yes.
Set Breakpoints
Set a breakpoint in SPCall and in SP1 in preparation for debugging the application.
- In the
Solution Explorer, double-click
SPCall.cbl to open it in the COBOL editor.
- In the COBOL editor, scroll to:
move "SP1" to progname
exec sql
call :progname (:countval INOUT)
end-exec
- In the leftmost column on the
exec sql line, click to set a breakpoint.
- From the
Solution Explorer, open
SP1.cbl.
- Scroll to:
set progname to "A"
call progname using by reference lscountval
and set a breakpoint.
Debug the Program and Stored Procedure
In this section, you use
Enterprise Developer to debug the native COBOL program and the SQL CLR stored procedure.
- From the Visual Studio main menu, click
DEBUG > Start Debugging. This builds the project and puts the debugger in a wait state.
- In the
Solution Explorer, right-click the
SPCall.jcl file; then select
Submit JCL from the context menu.
The JCL script calls the SPCall program and stops on the first statement in the program. Press
F5 to continue to the breakpoint you set in the
SPCall.cbl file.
- Click
DEBUG > Attach to Process.
- On the
Attach to Process dialog box, click
Select.
- On the
Select Code Type dialog box, click
Debug these code types; then check the following boxes:
- Managed (.NET 4.x) or
.NET (4.5, v4.0) depending on your version of Visual Studio.
- T-SQL
- Click
OK.
- On the
Attach to Process dialog box, check
Show processes for all users.
- On the
Available Processes list, select the
sqlservr.exe entry that has the
NT Service\MSSQLServer User Name. If you are using a SQL Server named instance, the User Name to select will have the format NT Service\MSSQL$<instanceName>.
- Click
Attach.
Note: If a prompt appears, click
Attach to clear it.
- Click
DEBUG > Step Into.
The debugger steps into the managed SQL CLR stored procedure code. This demonstrates debugging in a mixed native/.NET environment.
- To continue debugging, press
F10; when the debugger reaches another breakpoint, press
F10 again.
- Press
F5 to run the program to its completion.
- Click
Stop Debugging
to stop the Debugger.
View JCL Execution Results
- In
Server Explorer, right-click on the JCLSPMDN region and select
Show Spool.
- Click the
Refresh button in the
JCLSPMDN Spool tool window.
- In the DD Entries, click the DD Name
SYSOUT.
- Expand the
SYSOUT Display section in the tool window.
This shows the output from the SQL CLR Stored Procedure.
The correct output is 0000000025.
Stop the JCLSPMDN Enterprise Server Region
- On the
Server Explorer, right-click
JCLSPMDN; then select
Stop from the context menu.
This concludes the tutorial.
